Read our privacy policy Ireland suffered a first defeat in Dublin in more than three years as an impressive New Zealand powered their way to a second consecutive Autumn Nations Series win. Josh van der Flier’s early second half try was their lone attacking bright spot as the hosts failed to find rhythm, perhaps dealing with some rust after several months away from international action and the departure of attack coach Mike Catt. After beating England last week, this was a controlled and calm performance led by fly half Damian McKenzie, who eschewed his usual flicks and tricks to play an expert territorial game and strike six times from the tee on his way to 18 points.
